Really like his highlights.

We wont get all 6 of those.  4/6 I'd put at 95%.  5/6 is possible.  The Foster recruitment will be interesting to watch.  I think the biggest hurdle will be the aggy mom letting him go to Texas.

Apparently she is willing to let him decide for himself..... She already knows he grew up a Texas fan.

Yes

Yes he’s not coming, or yes is he is coming?

That’s why I’m hoping we stay at 4 OL in 2020. I think all 6 are better than who is left for us to take and maybe better than all 2020 commits

Correct!

Plays at same JUCO that Willie Tyler came from. He's got some moves for a big man (DL).

Just got to watch Jerrin Thompson’s tape. Not the fastest/twitchiest guy (still fast), but great instincts and probably the most aggressive safety I’ve watched this year. Super explosive on contact.

So Juan Davis just committed to us!!

I cannot speak for Carrington. But that was the horse's mouth there.

Is anyone getting a little concerned that the 2021 class will be as large as the 2020 class soon?

^ This. 

Its a perception issue. Us, and the Big 12 as a whole, are considered pass happy spread teams. That’s great for recruiting WR’s but not so much RB’s. Even Herman’s OSU offense was/is heavy on QB runs. 

If we ever establish a run first “smash mouth” offense we will pull the top backs but we will stop getting the top Receivers. 

I disagree. Herman and Drayton has been able to sell recruits that they were the OC and RB coach at Ohio State and coached Ezekiel Elliott to where he was the a top five draft pick . If other teams are able to convince recruits that UT is a pass happy team then they are out recruiting us.

I give Drayton a pass on Trey Sanders last year. The top RB in the country with no Texas ties and going to Alabama is understandable.

The big disappointment was losing out on Noah Cain. He had Texas ties and went to Penn State which has not been a top ten team for the most part since Jerry Sandusky.

 I give Drayton a  pass on Zackery Evans. It looks like we lost him with Hand didn't treat Damieon George as the next Anthony Munoz. I did see on the Alabama board that very unhappy that they recruited George. 

The other disappointment is the future loss of Bijan Robinson. It looks like he trust future hall of fame coach Ryan Day then Herman. There's a thread on the Ohio State board that the Ryan Day era will be better than  Meyer and Tressel. and so far he has coached three games.

I wouldn't call it concerned. 

It's obvious that the staff has changed their approach.
